South Iceland Winter Break

Arrive at Keflavík airport and transfer to Reykjavík for four nights. Evenings on this short break are free to dine at leisure. Perhaps splash out on a gourmet experience at Kopar Restaurant or grab a hotdog with sweet mustard and crunchy onions from the famous Baejarins Beztu cabin.

Spend the morning exploring the shops, galleries and cafés of Reykjavík at leisure before an excursion to the famous Blue Lagoon. Relax in the healing geothermal waters and apply the rejuvenating white silica mud to face and body. After dark, head out on a Northern Lights coach tour to search for the aurora away from the bright lights of the city. (B)

Join a city sightseeing tour and discover the highlights of greater Reykjavík. See the famous Hallgrímskirkja church and tour the beautiful Harpa concert hall and conference center. Spend the rest of the afternoon free to explore at leisure. Perhaps visit the Whales of Iceland museum at the historic harbour – the biggest whale exhibition in the world. (B)

Take a coach excursion to Iceland’s most popular trio of natural wonders. Discover Thingvellir National Park where the North American and Eurasian continental plates drift apart, get up close to Gullfoss waterfall and see Strokkur geyser erupt twenty metres into the air.
